[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
You're in New York, I'm in LA
I drive to work, you take the train
My heart – it burns, yes it burns, yes it burns
We're oceans away
And I'll be asleep by the time you're awake
By the time you're awake

[Chorus]
I know that you're hurt, I know I'm to blame
But I'll make it work, I'll make you stay
Until that day I'm one plane ride away
From New York to LA (From New York to LA)
I'll be one plane ride away
From New York to LA, 'til you stay
'Til you stay, oh

[Verse 2]
You're in LA, I'm in New York
I missed you today
So bad that it hurt
My heart – it burns, yes it burns
2800 miles away
I'll be at work by the time you're awake
So I'm callin' to say

[Chorus]
I know that you're hurt, I know I'm to blame (I'm to blame)
But I'll make it work, I'll make you stay
Until that day I'm one plane ride away
From New York to LA
I'll be one plane ride away
From New York to LA, 'til you stay
'Til you stay, 'til you stay, oh

[Bridge]
You're in New York
You feel the same
Do you feel the same?
Do you feel the same?

[Outro]
I know that you're hurt, I know I'm to blame
But I'll make it work, I'll make you stay
Until that day I'm one plane ride away
From New York to LA, I'll be one plane ride away
From New York to LA, 'til you stay

​blackbear

blackbear is the stage name of LA-based producer and singer-songwriter Mat Musto, popularly known for co-writing Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend,” in 2012. Some of his first collaborations were with the likes of Pharrell Williams, MGK, and Childish Gambino. Later, Musto reinvented himself—he coined the name blackbear from a previous EP titled Year of the Blackbear. Under his new name, he started leaning more towards rapping and an R&B-oriented style.

His first mixtape Sex included collaborations with his peers James Blake, Maejor Ali, and “Boyfriend” co-writer Mike Posner. The Afterglow followed in 2014.

In 2015, blackbear released “idfc,” as the lead single from his debut album Deadroses. It increased his fan following and revenue, earning him millions of playback streams and a spot on Billboard’s Uncharted List of Undiscovered and Upcoming Artists. The second single, “90210,” included a feature from G-Eazy—blackbear made an appearance in his 2014 track, “Remember You.”
